A flyer for the 'Between the Lines' event for a research cabaret, featuring the name in theatre lights and the curtains seen on a theatre stage. The descriptive text says: "How do we communicate that which cannot be categorized? Experiences from the margins and/or the marginalized? When medical language excludes, are there other ways to engage with health? Join us for an evening of live music, poetry, dance, and chaos to explore what it means to live between the lines – with researchers from Durham University’s Institute for Medical Humanities and the best local performers. Featuring a specially commissioned response from New Writing North." The location is at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Durham, DH1 5TA and the event takes place from 7pm-10pm on 6th November 2025.
